Eight AI founders will take the mic for short, candid founder sets — what they're actually building, what's harder than it looks, and what they think the market is still sleeping on. Then the Comics and VC’s step in: live, on-the-record reactions from operators and builders who've been in the trenches. Expect sharp founder stories, live “anti-VC" feedback, drinks, light bites, and curated networking with Founders, builders, operators, investors, and ecosystem partners working across agentic AI, commerce, finance, media, workflow automation, etc. Apply to Pitch: eric@room52nyc.com
